Small Fry: A Memoir
is a very particular coming of age memoir, particular because it is by Steve Jobs’s first born child, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, whose existence he had difficultly acknowledging.

A friend’s physical therapist recommended the vibrating peanut. It really worked for me–a few minutes and my pain was gone! You press the button on one end to toggle through four vibrating levels. I find the up/down level to be the most effective. The peanut comes with a charger and the charge lasts quite well for me. My peanut is green. I bought it on Amazon for about half the price my friend paid at her physical therapist’s office. The description says “foam” but it’s pretty hard. Definitely worth it.
